Quantum results lead to particles behaving like waves that intrude with one another

The fuzziness of the quantum world has been demonstrated on its largest-ever scale, probing the boundaries of quantum mechanics. Greater than a billion atoms inside a glass bead acted as a single quantum wave, a vital step in making macroscopic matter intrude with itself and testing theories of quantum gravity.
Within the early twentieth century, physicists realised that, at tiny scales, matter gave the impression to be fuzzy. Though earlier experiments had proven that particles like electrons or atomic nuclei had been stable, new experiments demonstrated that…
